constant represents the union if simple types are involved. | TypeInfo | ||

| DOM 3 Core typeName | property |
typeName:DOMString [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
The name of a type declared for the associated element or attribute, or null if unknown.
public function get typeName():DOMStringSee also
| DOM 3 Core typeNamespace | property |
typeNamespace:DOMString [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
The namespace of the type declared for the associated element or attribute or null if the element does not have declaration or if no namespace information is available.

| DOM 3 Core isDerivedFrom | () | method |
public function isDerivedFrom(typeNamespaceArg:DOMString, typeNameArg:DOMString, derivationMethod:Number):Boolean| Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
This method returns if there is a derivation between the reference type definition, i.e. the TypeInfo on which the method is being called, and the other type definition, i.e. the one passed as parameters.
Parameters
typeNamespaceArg:DOMString — The namespace of the other type definition.
| |
typeNameArg:DOMString — The name of the other type definition.
| |
derivationMethod:Number — The type of derivation and conditions applied
between two types, as described in the list of constants provided in this interface.
|
Boolean — If the document's schema is a DTD or no schema is associated
with the document, this method will always return false.
If the document's schema is an XML Schema, the method will true if the reference type definition is derived from the other type definition according to the derivation parameter. If the value of the parameter is 0 (no bit is set to 1 for the derivationMethod parameter), the method will return true if the other type definition can be reached by recursing any combination of {base type definition}, {item type definition}, or {member type definitions} from the reference type definition. |

| DOM 3 Core DERIVATION_EXTENSION | Constant |
public static const DERIVATION_EXTENSION:Number = 2| Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
If the document's schema is an XML Schema, this constant represents the list.
The reference type definition is derived by extension from the other type definition if the other type definition can be reached recursively following the {base type definition} property from the reference type definition, and at least one of the derivation methods involved is an extension.
| DOM 3 Core DERIVATION_LIST | Constant |
public static const DERIVATION_LIST:Number = 8| Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
If the document's schema is an XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1], this constant represents the union if simple types are involved.
The reference type definition is derived by list from the other type definition if there exists two type definitions T1 and T2 such as the reference type definition is derived from T1 by DERIVATION_RESTRICTION or DERIVATION_EXTENSION, T2 is derived from the other type definition by DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, T1 has {variety} list, and T2 is the {item type definition}. Note that T1 could be the same as the reference type definition, and T2 could be the same as the other type definition.
| DOM 3 Core DERIVATION_RESTRICTION | Constant |
public static const DERIVATION_RESTRICTION:Number = 1| Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
If the document's schema is an XML Schema, this constant represents the derivation by extension.
The reference type definition is derived by restriction from the other type definition if the other type definition is the same as the reference type definition, or if the other type definition can be reached recursively following the {base type definition} property from the reference type definition, and all the derivation methods involved are restriction.
| DOM 3 Core DERIVATION_UNION | Constant |
public static const DERIVATION_UNION:Number = 4| Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
If the document's schema is an XML Schema, this constant represents the derivation by restriction if complex types are involved, or a restriction if simple types are involved.
The reference type definition is derived by union from the other type definition if there exists two type definitions T1 and T2 such as the reference type definition is derived from T1 by DERIVATION_RESTRICTION or DERIVATION_EXTENSION, T2 is derived from the other type definition by DERIVATION_RESTRICTION, T1 has {variety} union, and one of the {member type definitions} is T2. Note that T1 could be the same as the reference type definition, and T2 could be the same as the other type definition.
